Mastantuono had been on Real Madrid's radar since 2023, but talks only gained momentum after the French team emerged as frontrunners to sign the River Plate sensation this summer.

Despite their strong interest, the Spaniards have now secured the teenager’s signature in a deal worth €40 million ($45m/£34m), paid in installments.
